OUR MISSION

Zacks Small-Cap Research coverage specifically looks to focus on small and micro-cap companies that are under-followed or under-valued by Wall Street. Our analysts seek to identify and report on these companies, bringing to investors a unique opportunity to gain insight on small-cap investments which are believed to be under-valued and well-positioned for future growth. Our goal is to produce high quality (institutional) research for the small cap portfolio.

OUR PROCESS

The Zacks Small-Cap analyst team has an average of 20 years' experience in the investment field. We conduct significant due diligence in an effort to maintain the highest quality small-cap universe. Zacks Small-Cap Research coverage includes a full initiation report that is a comprehensive overview of the company with valuation, recommendation, and financial statements. Analysts will typically publish research reports after the initiation on an as needed basis. Events that usually trigger publishing a research report or note include earnings, SEC filings, and material events. Zacks SCR will often publish a dozen reports on the companies we cover each year. We are also active on earnings conference calls and will often attend investment conferences and company sponsored events. Our performance is tracked by leading rating agencies including both Zacks All-Stars and Star Mine.

OUR VALUATIONS

Zacks SCR is a division of Zacks Investment Research (ZIR). ZIR is our parent company and also the parent company of Zacks.com.Zacks.com has a stock rating service called the Zacks Rank. The Zacks Rank is a proprietary quantitative model that uses trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises to proportionally classify stocks into five groups: #1 = Strong Buy #2 = Buy #3 = Hold #4 = Sell #5 = Strong Sell. The Zacks Ranks is determined by Zacks Rank Analysis software and has been back-tested using over two decades of financial data. Zacks Rank is a very good predictor of both positive and negative earnings surprises. Zacks SCR valuations are 100% fundamental research driven evaluations of the company based on all available information, including fundamental market analysis using techniques such as SWOT and financial statement analysis. We at Zacks SCR would like investors to know that while the Zacks Rank is an important quant-driven trading tool, it is not fundamental stock research and investors looking for quality equity research analysis can rely on the Zacks SCR valuations found on this website.
